Kask has added a new aero model, the Utopia, to their helmet lineup, with Team Sky debuting the lid at the season openers in Australia.
The Italian helmet company state the Utopia is their most aerodynamic helmet to date and developed the lid in a wind tunnel versus ten of the leading aero helmets on the market.
Following the tests and using computational fluid dynamics simulation, Kask claims the Utopia will save the rider 6 watts when riding at 50km/h versus the next best competitor.

While aerodynamic advantages were the key goal, ventilation on the helmet has not been compromised. Six vents on the front of the helmet and three at the rear allow the helmet to be used 'year-round in all climates'.
Combined with the ventilation design is Resistex Carbon padding, designed to wick moisture away from the head the liner is also claimed to be antistatic and bacteriostatic.
Aesthetically, the Kask Utopia sits between a Specialized S-Works Evade and a Giro Vanquish. Two tall and narrow vents sit at the sides on the front of the helmet, echoing the Giro Vanquish, while the long side on profile shares characteristics with many of the aero specific helmets on the market.
